IT"S ALL GOOD!

Even among the hardest trials, if at the end of the day we are still a family, It's all good!

God Provides

I am certainly in a better mood than I was earlier. Nothing special, I spent the better part of the day sitting on the porch reading. The girls and I went for a walk before dinner, that was nice. A very quiet day! I must confess part of my grumpiness is due to our still lousy financial situation, one that would vastly improve if disability would come through! When we watch the news showing the Federal government could shut down, that would only cause further delays! Not a case for the warm and fuzzies! God continue to provides, often in unusual ways! I have learned a long time ago to always expect the unexpected. God has it figured it all out all ready. He knows what needs to be done and I believe he chooses unexpected ways to get our attention! We just continue to pray that he will open doors wide for the disability office to release Shawn's retro check. Happy Weekend!

Grouchy Morning

Not a very good morning! To say I was in a bad mood is probably an understatement! Just feeling a bit overwhelmed by some things! Shawn and I went for a length walk and that seemed to help a bit. Ina little while I am going to try making some cookies! We are feeling pretty frustrated with the disability office again. They are dragging there feet with something that should have been settled months ago. I am not even going to start in on that! I am in a better mood and want to stay in one! Hope all of you have a good weekend!

Waiting For Tomatoes

As usual something came up! Shawn's friend Ricky came by this afternoon and we all went for a short ride. He enjoys showing us interesting areas around Montgomery. It was a nice ride! Shawn, Kate Lynn and I went across the street and trimmed our neighbor's hedges and did some raking. It looks very nice. We are now resting and trying to cool off some! The sun has gone down a bit and it has cooled down a little, actually it feels like the perfect night to have a coffee on the front porch! I have to report some good news, my tomato plants are starting to flower and bud! Maybe not all that exciting to you, but I am thrilled! Now I am just waiting for the tomatoes!

A Whole Lot of Nothing

Another day of whole lot of nothing! It is funny when  I think about the past few months and where we have been and where we are, I will take a whole lot of nothing! I will clean the house, walk the dog, read a book and maybe do some cooking and I will enjoy all of it to some degree or another! Shawn is off to spend some time with his friend Ricky, Kate Lynn still has not dragged herself out of bed so I am enjoying some me time. I should take advantage of this time and finish the cleaning I have so that I will have the entire day to finish my book and start another! Please be in prayer for 2 things; Shawn is attempting to quit smoking and the Disability office has told us that we should be recieveing the monies they owes us this month (they are very behind!). Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers! I hope all of you have a great day!

Reading and Naps

Over all it has been a very lazy day! Shawn and I played frisbee with the dog, puttered around the yard and then took the dog for a walk. For the better part of the afternoon I have been reading a book, Shawn took a nap and Kate Lynn has been puttering around the house. Not one exciting thing to report, and that isn't neccessary a bad thing!
Slept very well, but I am feeling a little slow this morning! Absolutely nothing planned today! I am going to drink my coffee, water my tomato plant and maybe finish touch up the bathroom. An update on the 3 kittens and mommy cat; all are doing very well. The kittens are growing and looking beautiful!

Pomegranate not Paint

We never did paint today. We did make it to the library! When we returned home, Shawn started talking to a neighbor and he was told we had a pomegranate tree in our back yard. The tree was been over grown and ruined by another tree growing in the center of it. We spent the day cutting down the menacing tree and pruning the pomegranate tree! We are thrilled, now we know we have Pecan trees and the fruit tree! Looking forward to the fall when they are both ripe! The lousy thing is Shawn ended up with a nasty headache and has been laying down since about 3:15pm trying to get rid of it. Hoping he will feel better soon enough to eat dinner! Maybe the painting will be done tomorrow! Right now I am contemplating if I am  in the mood to make cookies.
